Actually, Laurence, the US/NATO military day starts at 0000.  The last minute 
of the day is 2359.
 
For your information:
 
Often NATO message transmission has a format such as 072349Z OCT 97.  This is 
called a DATE/TIME GROUP.
The 07 is the date of the month
2349 is the time
Z is the time zone. In this case, Z is GMT/UTC.  Eastern Time, whether 
daylight or not, is R for Romeo; S is Central, T is Mountain, and U is 
Pacific Time.  A is Central European Time (GMT+1); C is Moscow Time (GMT+3), 
and so forth.
 
When recording messages, use GMT as often as possible, except when making 
reception reports to local stations.
 
Very truly yours,
